Mars Javelin
Mars Javelin
We are testing a model payload on Earth for the sake of launching a model on Mars. This model will acquire valuable data for NASA that will allow further progress towards development of other projects relating to the exploration of Mars. Previous work has been done, but for various reasons some of these projects fell through. As a result, “The Spear of Ares”, has the objective of designing, building, and testing a model that will survive in a simulated Martian environment.
